Drag the sound file onto QuickTime Player (Pro I think you need), then go to File -> Export, and choose AIFF.

Not only does the file need to be an AIFF, but it needs to be a 44.1kHz, 16bit stereo AIFF. It should have an ".aiff" extension (not just ".aif"), and be in the /System/Library/Sounds directory.
